Working out the position of bones and organs in the human body and identifying which drinks are good for our teeth – and not so good – were just two of the hands-on challenges faced by pupils aged six to 11 at the end of Felsted Prep’s Wellbeing Week.
More than 20 interactive stations designed to help children to understand the importance of exercise and a balanced diet and their effects on the body were set up in the school hall by visiting coaches from A-Life, which specialises in educating young people on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Small groups of pupils explored each station in turn, working together on tasks including selecting different foods and drinks to create a balanced diet and identifying safe and unsafe household items. Four different levels of difficulty ensured that each individual child was challenged.
‘These hands-on sessions are key to inspiring our learners,’ said Felsted Prep Head, Miranda Norris. ‘The knowledge gained about how to stay fit and healthy is a crucial outcome.’
